Boys' Weekend at Boryeong Beach

보령 [Boryeong] Boys' Trip 2013
2013/08/02~04 @ 대천 [Daecheon]

This summer was long and hot, so the Avalon boys packed up and headed out to 대천 [Daecheon] to spend a few days in a minbak at 보령 [Boryeong] Beach. We had an extended weekend for summer vacation, so we took advantage.

Weekend Getaway
2013/07/20~21 @ Anmyeondo [안면도]


보람[Bo-ram] & I took a trip back in July. She has a pal that owns a pension on the island of 안면도, so it ended up being the perfect situation. The owner was super nice and provided us with garden-grown food while we were there. The rooms were really nice with a light up bar. Also, the owner's husband just give me his car keys and let me drive his car around the island.
